Episodes Old Time
Does it seem like the Book and Movie "Time Traveler's Wife" took the idea from an old Outer Limits episode?

I live in a nursing home, so call I get to see of new movies are the previews, but they appear to follow a similar story line. In the Outer Limits episode, a newly married man gets unstuck in time, spending a short period, than jumping forward. During various jumps, his wife has a child he fathered, than child is growing, than the child is an old man. This sound a lot like the movie.

Both of those are predated by "Slaughterhouse 5" aka "Slaughterhouse-Five", Kurt Vonnegut's novel, which was filmed (1972).

Wikipedia synopsis:
The film follows the novel in presenting a first-person narrative from the point of view of Billy Pilgrim, who becomes "unstuck in time" and experiences the events of his life in a seemingly random order, including a period spent on the alien planet of Tralfamadore. Particular emphasis is placed on his experiences during World War II, including the bombing of Dresden in World War II, as well as time spent with fellow prisoners of war Edgar Derby (Eugene Roche) and the psychopathic Paul Lazzaro (Ron Leibman). His life as a husband to Valencia (Sharon Gans), and father to Barbara and Robert (Holly Near and Perry King) also are depicted, as they live and sometimes even enjoy their life of affluence in Ilium, New York. A "sink-or-swim" scene with Pilgrim's father is also featured. The scenes of extraterrestrial life on Trafalmadore feature Hollywood starlet and fellow abductee Montana Wildhack (Valerie Perrine).

You can read the novel's plot summary here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughterhouse-Five
From the summary:
Chaplain's Assistant Billy Pilgrim, a disoriented, fatalistic, ill-trained American soldier, is captured by the Germans during the Battle of the Bulge and taken to a prison in Dresden. The Germans put Billy and his fellow prisoners in a disused slaughterhouse, known as "Slaughterhouse number 5". The PoWs and German guards alike hide in a deep cellar; because of their safe hiding place, they are some of the few survivors of the city-destroying firestorm during the Bombing of Dresden in World War II. Because these events have made him insane, Billy has come "unstuck in time."
